User's notes

I understand this to be Azolla filiculoides, a floating waterplant (?fern?) whose green can turn browny-red.

yes, Azolla filiculoides.
this name is recognised in PlantNet but other jurisdictions and NatureMapr have followed recent change and call it Azolla rubra. This needs a Ferns Moderator to verify it for you.

Thanks JaneR, I look forward to that.
Getting across any identifications has been challenging enough for now; keeping up with the ongoing changes & refinements, is a new challenge I guess I'm about to embark on!
I very much appreciate the benefits of your knowledge, thank you!
